A source told the Sun: “David is helping Rebecca through the most difficult time of her life

“He has put a smile back on her face and helps her with day-to-day things that she struggled to do before because she would break down with grief.

“Rebecca really struggled after Lee's death and it is great to see her smile again. Rebecca and David began to lean on each other when she went to the army barracks for a remembrance service. He's been a real tower of strength.”
